Thanks everyone!
I changed it to "virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp" in main.cf and chowned the file "/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp" to "postfix:postfix" it is now delivering email

i did a search for dovecot-lmtp but Debian is unable to find it.
Per default Debian uses a chrooted Postfix configuration. Therefore the socket needs to be located inside the chroot e.g:
service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } }
These should give an idea on how it plays together:
